GIRARD -- A suspected methamphetamine lab was discovered in an apartment in a borough when police went to investigate a reported domestic disturbance there, investigators said this morning.

Agents with the state Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control, assisted by the Pennsylvania State Police, served a search warrant this morning at an upstairs apartment at 228 Main St. Investigators have found some methamphetamine and what they believe to be the byproducts of meth manufacturing, said Dennis Tobin, the bureau's regional director.

A Girard police officer had gone to the apartment to investigate the reported domestic incident and saw some suspected "precursors" of meth production. That led to the subsequent search, Tobin said.

No criminal charges have been filed so far in the ongoing investigation.
